For all of you saying they should have picked terminator instead of terminator 2, They DID. It says Terminator/Terminator 2. That means they picked both.

I have to say that sounds contradictory to me. You’re not a “big person of genres” but there is a “true” sci-fi. It seems to me you are insisting on genres, though not necessarily more than Loach. Your definitions simply differ.

Well, the reason behind my reaction was because I felt that the context was misleading, as in “Look, there are machines in Eternal Sunshine, it’s science fiction!” and then lump it together with titles like the Matrix, V, Terminator and Blade Runner. And no matter what I think of genres, they are still there and people have opinions on them.
CalMeacham’s post on soft sc-fi makes sense. In a modern fiction setting where genres and styles influence eachother, it might be as good as any.

Any list that doesn’t include 2001 Space Oddessy on it’s list is insane.
And no Star Wars movies from the original trio, but includes Clone Wars?
Insane.
Blade Runner, beeatches!

The list was only of movies within the past25 years. 2001 is much older than that.
